Text and Images API Reference

You can bold text on Quizlet by surrounding it with asterisks. Text typed as "*this is bold* but this is not" will appear on Quizlet as "this is bold but this is not."

You can also add images to sets on Quizlet.
When you add or edit sets you can optionally send "image identifiers" to associate uploaded images to those sets.
You can also add images when editing a single term in a set.

Only Quizlet PLUS members can upload images.
You can tell if a user is a PLUS member by checking account_type = "plus" when viewing the user.

This page only lists successful responses. For information about possible error responses, read the API Introduction.

Uploading Images

Permissions

When you upload one or more images to Quizlet, you get back an array of "image identifiers". You can use these identifiers when adding or editing sets to associate these images to the set(s).
Image identifiers are based on the content of the image and last forever (so you can reuse the same identifier across sets if you want the same image).

Image sizes

By default, the image URL provided is the "medium" size with a maximum side of 240 pixels.
This is indicated in the URL with a suffix of _m.jpg.

You can change the image URL suffix to access the other sizes.
The table below shows the different size available. For the examples below, we are using the fake filename of orange_picture.jpg (note in the response you would actually get the URL of orange_picture_m.jpg because the medium size is the default).
